| | Red X where pics should be I have Window's Vista with Window's Mail. I have had Outlook Express in the past and never had a problem with it. Now, all of a sudden, when I start reading my email that has pics attached, they're all boxes with a red X in them. If I log out and log back in, I can read about two or three emails fine, then the red X's are back. I log out and back in, and two or three more can be read. Does anyone know why this is happening??? It's really starting to drive me crazy. Thanks for any assistance.... |

Since it is intermittent...I would suspect that some maintenance might help the issue.

| | Re: Red X where pics should be I suggest that as a test you uninstall your antivirus. Windows Mail is not compatible with most McAfee or Norton security programs. Those will need to be uninstalled, not just disabled. After uninstalling your non-compatible antivirus, reboot, then test your Windows Mail. If the problem is gone, download and install a more compatible antivirus like the free Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html Even compatible antivirus programs will need to have their email scanning option turned off.
